The Ying On Labor & Merchant Association () or simply Ying On Association is a historical Chinese American association that was established in the 1930s for the purpose of assisting members of the Chinese community when they were threatened by unfair and discriminatory business practices; for organizing social gathering places for the Chinese; and at times, for organizing funeral parlors for the dead who had no kin or family in America. It also served as a boarding house for single Chinese men upon arrival to Tucson, Arizona and a fraternal organization for elderly Chinese men.
The Ying On Association still exists today.
